if I'd gotten to the nfl three years ago, i would be on top of the world, chico. I would be a multimillionaire by now. I would have my own cheese farm a fishing boat..grand marshall of the rodeo..all of it.

He's going to regret having the kitchen next to the living room...those damn loud dishwashers

more and more homes are doing this and I use to like the idea, but the more I thought about it it would be annoying to be watching something while someone else is cooking, cleaning, etc in the kitchen. My old girlfriend's place had a similar layout (with kitchen next to living room) and it was real annoying to have the background noise.

However, it does look like he set up his "tv/gamin" room upstairs with those 2 black chairs...which i have no idea how he fits into.

I much prefer this setup -- you can talk to you wife while you watch TV and she cooks.

Our kitchen is next to the living room and it's not a problem at all. In fact, it's awesome. I don't understand why you would want it another way. Dishwasher aren't 747's or anything.

I don't know what JJ's personal situation is. Personally, at his age, with his cash - even considering he doesn't have as much today as he will in a few years, and it's the NFL, so nothing guaranteed - I would have bought much much much closer to town. But maybe he's just not a big city guy in any way.

He's from Pewaukee, Wisconsin.

We don't have the open design and to be honest, I wish we did since it creates the feel of more space and you can talk with people in the kitchen while in the family or dining room. And dishwasher noise isn't a problem if you get a Bosch (hardly hear it at all, even while in the kitchen. The bigger problem is cooking smells permeate the house.
